You are obsessed with Michelle
You are jealous of Michelle
You make pointless posts about Michelle
You make up lies about Michelle
You hold Michelle to a different standard than any other first lady in history
You twist everything about Michelle out of all reality.
You hate Michelle

MICHELLE IS STILL THE FIRST LADY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN.

You lose.

Dude, no one's kissing her a*s, could you be sensible for just perhaps a moment? You & another poster gleefully post any & everything about her or Obama, it's tiresome. When something scandalous comes up, feel free. But in the meantime, you just look foolish & desperate.

OH, WHO CARES. Seriously some of you people need to a) get a life, b) get a hobby, c) enjoy your families or whatever you do that will momentarily dissipate that anger and ridiculousness that's festering inside. If she had her "taxpayer funded" assistants go and pick up her groceries, you people would be sniping about that too.

Im sure there was no possible way she could have asked one of her 20 taxpayer funded "assistants" to go get the veggies...nope, she had to shut down part of DC, disrupting everyones lives, and spent thousands of taxpayer money to make a speech on foodstamps. "Let them eat fruit!"
Wow, she must feel like royalty, coming out to mingle with the peasants.:

"Cowbells were rung. Somebody put a lei of marigolds around Obama's neck. "


She felt so damned important and special, that she had to shut down a street during rush hour traffic???

"...she helped get the approvals to shut down Vermont Avenue during rush hour on Thursdays.

At least she is doing her part to fight global warming:

"Considering all the logistics, each tomato she purchased had a carbon footprint of several tons."

I think that is the hope; that people will actually believe it after they hear it umpteen times.

Any group of people who equate ratings with validity are sure to think that the more something is repeated the truer it is.

I share your sentiments. A lot of us enjoy talking about politics, but obviously, many are just here to carp - day in and day out. Thank goodness for the "ignore" feature on this message board. I use it liberally. (Yes, I said liberal. )

It's a well known, well established, tried and proven technique: Repetition works. Notice how many times Obama repeats himself in his speeches? Why do you suppose? He's hoping that the more often we hear it the more it will have the ring of truth.
